Description
“They’re on your head, Papa.” It is the most repeated sentence in the Moreau household. Every evening the search begins: under the newspaper, beside the crossword, down the side of the armchair, inside the biscuit tin. And every evening the glasses turn up exactly where his daughter said they would be, perched on top of his silver hair, catching the light from the reading lamp while he laughs at himself.
This little box is for every Papa like that, and for the people who love them. It is a smart gift for an optometrist opening a practice, a book club friend, a librarian leaving after years among the stacks, or a student who has just finished a doctorate after years of squinting at tiny print. Keep it on a nightstand beside the current novel, where at least one pair of spectacles will always be easy to find.

A witty present for an optician, or for the reader in your life who keeps losing theirs and laughs about it every time.
